That seems like only 3 odd months after fermentation? Thats alcoholic

Thank you for reminding me of something I oft forget, in my desire to
be clever, but often find myself in a position of being too cute by
half, a quote whose attribute is in question, but valid
nonetheless..."Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is
fighting some kind of battle."

sorry Charlie, you have lost me. Way too subtle.

I'm not game to try it yet even after 6 months, don't want to be
dissappointed, rather be pleasantly surprised. Am thinking maybe of taking a
bottle down to a local park & getting the opinion of the resident drunks.

ps got a load of home brew kit from a mate who knew I was making cider.
Included was an oldish stout brew mixture. I made that up and set it a few
weeks. My near neighbour is a semi-alcoholic. I offered him a few bottles.
He gratefully received. That was 2-3 months ago. A couple weeks back
neighbour was weaving his way home down the street after an sunday afternoon
at the boozer. I was walking the dogs. As we passed I offered him some more
booze. His reply, "naaaah, thanks mate, I'mmmm (long drawl) ok, ha ha ha".
Couldn't even give the stuff to near alcoholics. Didn't think it was that
bad & I dislike the stuff.
